Into the Valley of Frunitureland Rode the Six Hundred


Well, perhaps not 600 were with me a fateful recent Saturday morning, but all else was in place and accurate and not hyperbole - advertised one million square feet - walkways between buildings. Hotdiggitydog!
Into the Valley of ....... was there ever a more ominous sign? "Showroom"? Portends horrible potentials -- and did I mention their million square feet and moniker of Furnitureland (I mean just think of a preposterous name- what do they think they are Disneyland or something?)
and check out below JUST WHAT I HAD IN MIND -- I mean isn't this just darling? probably weighs several tons and causing deforestation and global warming too with all the timber in the thing. There were other equally "attractive" offerings, some with upwards of 15 little pillows.
and tables, yes we have tables
and more tables, often set ever so tastefully -- none had stacks of mail or similar stuff on them

and I had a happy wife who owes me. (or perhaps I am moving towards breaking even?)
